Does anyone else here remember (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCIN5zXFcMc) The Infinite Voyage? I was pretty glued to this show at a very young age when it aired across the atlantic, but my recollections are pretty scattered and the handful of reviews I've been able to dig out were... mixed, so those might be coloured by the haze of nostalgia.
To be honest, it's the paucity of references that most interests me, because it looked like a moderately-high-budget production at the time, maybe on a par with Cosmos. You can't find it on amazon except as a couple of second-hand VHS, there's no wikipedia entry to speak of, and the only extant catalogue-listing I could find was here (http://www.glencoe.com/media_tech_catalog/sci_video_infinite.html), for the hilarious price of $1600 in 90's-education-money. (Plus whatever an extinct format-player costs.)
I'm trying to figure out if it was just that forgettable, or if some strange confluence of market & legal factors have blotted it from the public consciousness. Thoughts?
